We had a database corruption this evening. I had no alternative other than to restore a database backup from this afternoon. All posts made after 13:00 this afternoon are no longer available.

I'm sorry for the continued problems we're having. Our new dedicated server will be ready on Tue. This has been confirmed. Our new server is a dual P4 with 1GB RAM and 2x80GB RAID HDD. It will be more than capable of powering our fine forum.

Once more I must ask for your patience and continued support, because that is all I can do.

Justin.

I'm reminded of Star Trek: Generations.

As frustrating as it is for us...i'm sure it goes doubly for you.

You could not possibly imagine how I feel atm, because so many emotions are surging through me.

Soon this will be over.

Dear fine forum master TLR.

We all realise that you are only doing your very best for this forum which is your child.

Some of today's posts erased so what, it means nothing.

The new server will be so fast that nobody can complain! :tmb:

That is all.

Last time I had a problem like that it wasn't so easily fixed. Unfortunately some little gremlin got into Big Bertha and destroyed some of my Registries. Only solution F-Disc Delete, Reformat hard drive and Reload Windows. Lost the :cen: lot. Luckily I had most of it burnt to CD, but I still lost a lot.:hea: :hea:

Don't worry too much, Justin. In the end it will work out allright and I know you're doing a really great job as ist is.

Actually I am quite relieved: when I logged on, I went straight to the Tech. Forum and a whole page was missing :confused: .
I also knew that I had a PM waiting for me that all of the sudden was no longer there :yik: .
So at least I now know that I am not going mad on the last day of the year :D .

Strange, I haven't lost any posts. What time is it where you are? Over here it is 15:45, so I may have been asleep when this happened. :D Lucky me!

I'm going to drop it off the end of South Parade Pier so it may sleep with the fishes for all eternity.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

tlr I have missed the last coupla weeks but may I tell you everything here is fine! Thank you for everything! :hug:

[I hope writing "coupla" is OK - I now have quite a powerful command of English words but learnt this new abbreviation from someone today I do not completely trust! I think she may be teasing me!]

I'm going to drop it off the end of South Parade Pier:vlol:

Maybe this is what happened to one of my posts. I did mention something about another forum and the next time I logged on the post was missing. I got to thinking I did something bad. Now I know what it must've been. :o
